3 + 4abs(x/2 + 3) = 11 Subtract 3
4 abs(x/2 + 3) = 11 - 3
4 abs(x/2 + 3) = 8 Divide by 4
abs(x/2 + 3) = 8/4
abs(x/2 + 3) = 2

Solution 1
x/2 + 3 = 2 Subtract 3
x/2 = 2 - 3
x/2 = - 1 Multiply by 2
x/2 *2 = - 2
x = - 2

Solution 2
x/2 + 3 = - 2
x/2 = - 2 - 3
x/2 = - 5 Multiply by 2
x = -5 * 2
x = -10

Solutions
x = - 2 <<<< answer 1
x = -10 <<<< answer 2

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given b

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610 is 70

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given by the formula

$P=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)$

provided that 0 ≤ x ≤ 200

We are given

profit is $1610

so, we can set P=1610

and then we can solve for x

$1610=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)$

Multiply both sides by 10

$1610\cdot \:10=\frac{1}{10}x\left(300-x\right)\cdot \:10$

$16100=x\left(300-x\right)$

$16100=300x-x^2$

$-x^2+300x-16100=0$

now, we can factor it

$(x-70)(x-230)=0$

we can solve for x

and we get

$x=70,x=230$

Since, x=230 does not lie on 0 ≤ x ≤ 200

So, we will consider only x=70

So,

Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610 is 70
